NO-BAKE SNACK MIX
This is my mom's no-bake snack mix recipe, and it's so much better than the normal snack mix recipes out there. It's tangy, spicy, and insanely addicting! I make it for my coworkers for Christmas and always get requests for the recipe. What's nice about it is you can vary the proportion of snacks that are in...more oyster crackers, less pretzels, etc. For reference, it makes probably 2 plastic gallon bags' worth of mix. This also freezes well to stay fresh longer.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Stale crackers or old nuts will not taste as good.
- If you don't have a shaker bottle, you can use a large resealable bag. Just make sure to shake it vigorously to combine all of the ingredients.
- Be careful not to over-shake the cracker mix. If you shake it too much, the crackers will start to break down and the mix will become too fine.
- Taste the cracker mix before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
- Serve the cracker mix immediately or store it in an airtight container for later.
